Although Britney Spears’ body has definitely seen better days, some have started speculating about her recent weight gain. Is the pop star really going to be a mother…again?

Well, despite what the tabloids would love to believe, Britney’s waistline is not the result of any pregnancy. (Who’d be the supposed father anyway? And where the heck has Adnan Ghalib gone?) According to the Daily Mail, the singer blames a new medication for her recent bloating.

As questionable as her decisions have been over the past few years, I’d like to believe her explanation is true. I highly doubt Spears would be stupid enough to openly smoke if she was knocked up.  (Keep fingers crossed.)
